Lately I have been thinking I need to start writing again. It brings peace to my soul and reminds me of the blessings that I have. Since I wrote last- a lot, I mean... A LOT has happened. Hmmm... where do I start? Well. I had a baby and now she is almost 10 months old... sniff, sniff. It was a great surprise to find out I was pregnant. Okay, I am lying. When I first found out I was pregnant, I was shocked, terrified, and confused. I really thought we were done. Yes, I always had the desire to have more babies (that will never, ever go away, right?) but the hubs was really done and I was resolved (for the sake of our marriage) that- okay... sigh... we were done! In fact we just had given away all the baby stuff a few months before- making it the final step towards accepting to move on (although, I have to admit, I couldn't let go of the baby girl clothes, just yet:). Then ... SURPRISE! I found I was pregnant. Well, needless to say, it has been such an amazing blessing. Our cherry on top...Mary Katherine. She is an absolute joy, and well, I can't imagine life without her- and I know my husband would say the same. There were a few other things/ trials/ I mean- big trials that we have gone through- that were also very shocking and very surprising- and they too, have made our lives fuller and richer- in different ways. It is amazing how life can throw you a curve-ball sometimes, but it is up to us to step aside and avoid it or hit it head on and perhaps hit an RBI or sometimes even a home run. Life is anything but easy- the older I get, the harder it gets- but with the challenges and trials- it has opened my eyes to what is most important.... One of my favorite quotes lately is;
Have A Great Day!!
